The East Africa Law Society (EALS) is the regional Bar Association of East Africa.

The EALS has over 42,000 individual members, and also has seven national Bar associations as members: Law Society of Kenya,[1] Tanganyika Law Society,[2] Uganda Law Society,[3] Zanzibar Law Society, Rwanda Bar Association,[4] Burundi Bar Association,[5] South Sudan Bar Association and Ethiopian Federal Advocates Association .

The East Africa Law Society works to promote good governance and the rule of law in the East African region and enjoys formal Observer Status with the East African Community[6] and the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights.

EALS is also a member of the International Coalition for the Responsibility to Protect[7] under which leaders of every country solemnly promise to protect their people from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity.

EALS' top decision-making organ is their annual general meeting [3] at which legal professionals come together to review the previous year's developments and to chart a way forward for the year ahead.
